How many times must we continue to repeat the same thing over and over again to Christians who assert that one can lose what they did not earn, can change back into the old creation they never made of themselves?
Those who have gone back were never born again, its just that simple.
All those who have been changed into a new creation by Christ cannot go back and be the old creation again. God gave them what they wanted, that was to be born again and to continue. Everyone who is born again does endure to the end, they can do nothing else.
Ephesians 1:13-14
13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also [b]believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge (promise) of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory."
God never breaks His promise and He never lets go of His children. When they sin He disciplines them.
Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, or lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises everyone He receives as a son.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?"
When God changes them they stay changed, when they have eternal life it begins at salvation and lasts forever.
Romans 10:13
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
John 3:35-36 "…35 The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”"
Whoever believes on Jesus Christ HAS (right now) eternal life.
